Evaluris Offensive Practice

Offensive Security Services

Operator-Built. AI-Native. Regulated-Market Ready.

Today's adversaries don't wait for your next audit cycle. They move through your environment in hours, exploiting misconfigurations your scanner missed, abusing identities your team trusted, and living off the land long before a detection fires.

Evaluris delivers adversary-grade offensive security engagements that replicate real-world attack chains across enterprise infrastructure, cloud environments, financial services systems, and critical infrastructure. Every engagement is operator-led, methodology-driven, and built to produce the intelligence your teams need to prioritize defenses that actually matter, not findings that disappear into a backlog.

Two disciplinesOne practiceZero guesswork.
Discipline I

Offensive Security Testing

Scoped, asset-specific, compliance-satisfying technical assessments that tell you exactly where you're exposed, and exactly what an attacker would do about it.

Offensive security testing provides the documented evidence that regulators require, the technical depth that security teams can act on, and the attacker perspective that internal reviews cannot replicate. Each engagement is operator-executed against a defined scope, producing validated findings with confirmed business impact, not automated scan output dressed up as a report.

Attack Surface Mapping

You can't secure what you don't know you have. Attack surface mapping identifies every internet-facing asset tied to your organization, including the ones IT doesn't know exist, before an attacker finds them first.

Evaluris builds a continuously updated inventory of your external footprint: domains, subdomains, cloud assets, exposed services, shadow IT, and forgotten infrastructure from decommissioned projects or M&A activity. Available as a point-in-time assessment or as continuous coverage through SPECTER, keeping your asset inventory current between scheduled engagements.

Covers

Domain and subdomain enumeration, cloud asset discovery across AWS, Azure, and GCP, shadow IT and unmanaged SaaS discovery, exposed service and port identification, certificate transparency and DNS analysis, M&A and subsidiary attack surface consolidation, and continuous monitoring integration via SPECTER.

Vulnerability Assessment

Not every asset needs a full penetration test on day one. Vulnerability assessment gives you broad, prioritized visibility across your environment, network, systems, and applications, so you know where the real exposure sits before committing testing hours to the highest-value targets.

Evaluris combines authenticated and unauthenticated scanning with manual validation to strip out false positives, then prioritizes findings by actual exploitability and business impact, not raw CVSS score. Delivered as a point-in-time engagement or a recurring cadence aligned to PCI DSS quarterly scanning and other framework-driven requirements.

Covers

Network and host vulnerability scanning (authenticated and unauthenticated), web application and API vulnerability scanning, cloud configuration scanning, false-positive validation and manual triage, risk-based prioritization mapped to business impact, and recurring/quarterly scan cadence for compliance programs.

Web Application & API Penetration Testing

Your application layer is the most consistently targeted surface in modern attacks. Evaluris conducts manual penetration testing across web applications, mobile applications, REST and GraphQL APIs, and thick-client platforms, going well beyond what automated scanners are capable of finding.

Testing follows the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) methodology with hypothesis-driven, operator-validated workflows. Every finding is confirmed as exploitable before it enters the report, with full business impact context and prioritized remediation guidance.

Covers

Authentication and session management flaws, injection vulnerabilities, broken access controls, IDOR, business logic abuse, API key exposure, insecure direct object references, GraphQL introspection attacks, and mobile client reverse engineering.

External Network Penetration Testing

An attacker doesn't need to be inside your network to compromise your organization. External network penetration testing evaluates your internet-exposed attack surface from the perspective of an external threat actor, with no prior knowledge, no internal access, and no assumptions.

Evaluris maps your external footprint, identifies exploitable entry points across cloud assets, remote access services, mail infrastructure, and public-facing applications, and attempts to establish footholds that demonstrate real-world compromise potential.

Covers

Infrastructure enumeration and fingerprinting, exposed service exploitation, VPN and remote access weaknesses, email security gaps (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), SSL/TLS misconfiguration, cloud asset exposure, and credential harvesting via OSINT.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

The question is no longer whether an attacker will get in, it's what they can reach once they do. Internal network penetration testing uses an assume-breach methodology to answer that question with precision.

Starting from an authenticated internal position, Evaluris operators map lateral movement paths, identify privilege escalation routes, and pursue sensitive data access across your enterprise infrastructure. Findings are documented against the MITRE ATT&CK kill chain, with remediation guidance mapped to each technique.

Covers

Network segmentation failures, lateral movement paths, credential abuse, unpatched internal services, share enumeration, sensitive data exposure, LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning, and internal certificate authority weaknesses.

Active Directory & Identity Security Testing

Active Directory is the backbone of enterprise identity, and the primary target of every advanced persistent threat actor operating today. A single misconfiguration can be the difference between a contained incident and a full domain compromise.

Evaluris executes the same techniques used by real-world APT groups: Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, DCSync, Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, ACL abuse, and trust relationship exploitation. The engagement maps the complete path from initial foothold to domain administrator, identifying every exploitable step along the way.

Covers

Domain enumeration, Kerberos attack paths, NTLM relay chains, GPO abuse, privileged group misconfigurations, AD CS exploitation, trust relationship attacks across forests, and Azure AD/Entra ID hybrid environment weaknesses.

Cloud Security Penetration Testing

Cloud environments are not inherently secure by default. Misconfigured storage buckets, overpermissioned IAM roles, exposed API keys, insecure DevOps pipelines, and lateral movement paths through cloud-native services are the conditions attackers rely on, and that compliance checklists routinely miss.

Evaluris assesses your cloud posture from an attacker's perspective across AWS and Azure environments, identifying misconfiguration chains, privilege escalation paths, and cross-account compromise scenarios that represent real business risk.

Covers

IAM privilege escalation, S3/Blob storage exposure, metadata service abuse (IMDSv1), secrets leakage in CI/CD pipelines, container escape paths, serverless function abuse, API gateway misconfigurations, and Entra ID attack paths.

ICS/OT & Critical Infrastructure Security Testing

Industrial control systems were not designed with adversaries in mind. SCADA platforms, PLCs, historian servers, and OT network architectures contain vulnerabilities that automated scanners cannot reach and that general-purpose penetration testers are not qualified to assess safely.

Evaluris brings specialized offensive security expertise to operational technology environments, including SCADA systems, Siemens S7 and Allen-Bradley PLCs, Modbus/DNP3/IEC 61850 protocol stacks, and OT/IT convergence boundaries. All engagements are conducted under zero-disruption protocols designed for live industrial environments where availability is non-negotiable.

Covers

OT network segmentation assessment, historian server attack paths, HMI vulnerability exploitation, protocol-level abuse (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850), engineering workstation compromise, wireless OT network assessment, and IT/OT boundary crossing.

Social Engineering

The most technically hardened environment can be compromised through a single well-crafted email, a convincing phone call, or an unescorted visitor in a server room. Social engineering testing evaluates the human layer of your security program, the controls that no firewall rule can enforce.

Evaluris designs and executes phishing campaigns, vishing operations, and physical intrusion scenarios tailored to your organization's profile, sector, and threat landscape. Findings are reported with full attack narrative, employee response analysis, and recommendations for security awareness program improvement.

Covers

Spear phishing and credential harvesting campaigns, pretexting and vishing operations, physical access testing and tailgating, USB drop attacks, and executive targeting (whale phishing).

Adversary Simulation

Testing individual vulnerabilities tells you where the holes are. Adversary simulation tells you whether your organization would survive a real attack.

Adversary simulation exercises are designed for security programs that need to answer harder questions: Would your SOC detect a living-off-the-land intrusion? Does your incident response playbook hold under pressure? Can your defenses identify and contain a threat actor who has already bypassed your perimeter controls?

These are full-chain, behavior-and-detection-focused engagements executed by operators with real-world adversary tradecraft, not scripted scan-and-report exercises.

Red Teaming

A red team engagement is the highest-fidelity test of your organization's ability to detect, respond to, and contain a real-world threat actor. It is not a penetration test. The objective is not to enumerate vulnerabilities, it is to achieve agreed mission objectives through stealth, persistence, and advanced evasion, while your defensive team operates under normal conditions with no prior warning.

Evaluris red team operators use the same tactics, techniques, and procedures employed by the advanced persistent threat actors most likely to target your sector. Engagements are conducted under strict operational security, using custom tooling, living-off-the-land techniques, and evasion methods designed to defeat modern EDR, SIEM, and behavioral analytics platforms.

The output is not a vulnerability list. It is a complete attack narrative, a documented, end-to-end account of how your organization was compromised, what your defenses failed to detect, and what changes to your security program would have changed the outcome.

Covers

Mission-driven adversary simulation with full attack narrative and detection gap analysis.

Purple Teaming

Red teaming finds the gaps. Purple teaming closes them, faster, with direct knowledge transfer to the team that has to defend your environment every day.

Purple team engagements execute adversary attack scenarios mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework and your organization's specific business objectives, in direct collaboration with your blue team. Unlike red teaming, the defensive team is engaged throughout, validating detections in real time, tuning alert logic against live attack activity, and building the operational muscle memory required to respond effectively when the real attack arrives.

The output is measurable improvement in detection coverage, documented against each MITRE ATT&CK technique tested, not a report filed and forgotten.

Covers

Collaborative ATT&CK-mapped exercises with real-time detection validation and tuning.

Threat Intelligence-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)

Regulators across the EU, GCC, and Africa now mandate that critical financial institutions conduct penetration testing driven by real threat intelligence, not generic methodology. DORA Article 26, TIBER-EU, and equivalent frameworks across CBUAE, SAMA, VARA, CBK, and CBB require documented TLPT engagements conducted by certified, independent testers meeting defined competency standards.

Evaluris TLPT engagements are built from a tailored threat intelligence profile of your organization, identifying the specific threat actors, campaigns, and TTPs most likely to target your sector, geography, and technology stack. Attack scenarios are constructed from that intelligence baseline, producing an engagement that is directly relevant to your real-world risk exposure rather than a standardized test suite.

Every engagement produces the complete evidence package required for regulatory submission: threat intelligence report, test execution documentation, findings narrative, and remediation evidence record aligned to the applicable framework standard.

Covers

Threat intelligence–driven scenarios with full regulatory evidence packages.

Managed Red Team Service

Point-in-time red team engagements provide a snapshot. Your attack surface does not stand still.

The Evaluris Managed Red Team Service delivers continuous adversary simulation through structured monthly testing sprints, dedicated operator access, and a rolling findings cycle that keeps pace with your evolving infrastructure and emerging threats. Organizations use this model to build or augment an internal red team capability, validate remediation effectiveness, and maintain continuous visibility into their true security posture, not just at assessment time.

Monthly reporting cycles give you full control to rescope objectives, retest previously identified findings after remediation, and track measurable improvement across your security program over time.

Best suited for: financial institutions, regulated enterprises, and organizations with mature security programs seeking continuous validation rather than periodic point-in-time assessment.

Covers
